Currently, 'RLEN' is the totally buffer size written by QEMU and it is
ACPI internally used only. The buffer size returned to guest should
not include 'RLEN' itself
Do you see any errors in guest with this bug present?
It would be nice to put error messages here so that fix could be found
later just by searching git log and qemu-devel for errors user sees
in guest.
No, i did not see any error log in vm. I guess kernel nvdimm driver uses
the buffer based on the 'length' field. I will improve the code to check
whether the buffer size is matched with this field in vm.

you can merge above store with subtract like this:
aml_subtract(aml_name("RLEN"), foo, result_size)
Yes, it is better indeed.
Style nit: try not to use magic numbers,
look at how RLEN is defined earlier, extract it into macro and reuse in both
places
Okay.
aml_append(method, aml_store(aml_shiftleft(result_size, aml_int(3)),
instead of shiftleft, I'd suggest use here multiply operator and BITS_PER_BYTE
so it would obvious what's going on and rewrite following without intermediate
store.
I agree. However, qemu does not implement multiply primitive, i'd make a
separate patchset for these cleanups you suggested.

aml_multiply(result_size, aml_int(BITS_PER_BYTE), NULL),

BTW:
dsm_out_buf_size is more descriptive than result_size
Yes, indeed.
also NCAL later uses Arg6 when method has only 5 arguments which doesn't seem
right
instead of arg6 you should make/use local variable 'dsm_out_buf'
Sorry, my typo. Will fix.
As sanity check I'd suggest to extract nvdimm ssdt in guest, decompile and
compile it back.
Currently I can't compile it back which mean it's really broken.
Good suggestion, i will try it.
